This book has grown out of decades of practicing simulation and teaching concepts of perioperative crisis resource management at our institutions, at national meetings, and in our residency and fellowship training programs. The purpose is to fill a gap between two areas of valuable work that exist in the perioperative emergency space; namely, between books that consist largely of steps of diagnosing a problem followed by a list of treatment steps and those reference books or articles that form the compendium works. As such, the goal of this volume is to be an up-to-date, high-yield, clinically relevant resource for understanding the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and proper assessment and management of a wide variety of perioperative emergencies. Our target audience is anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, surgeons, recovery and critical care nurses, and anyone else practicing within the perioperative arena.Less

This book provides a timely and authoritative synopsis of the current state of anaesthesia and the elderly patient at a time when the challenge of caring for the growing numbers of elderly patients is probably the greatest faced by healthcare across the globe. The book reviews important developments in the understanding of clinical practice serving the elderly. It describes the need for anaesthesia to deliver ‘best care’ to the elderly, with the aim to maintain their independent living. It then details the key features of ageing and the effect these have on physiology and pharmacology. Specific aspects of practice, including preoperative assessment; day surgery; emergency surgery; anaesthesia for orthopaedic, urological, and gynaecological surgery, as well as major abdominal surgery; neurosurgery; and critical care. Emphasis is placed on managing postoperative care and cognitive dysfunction (POCD), with additional discussion of ethical issues and the law pertaining to the elderly patient. A new chapter reviews the challenges of treating elderly patients in non-theatre environments.Less

This is a comprehensive, up-to-date resource that covers all aspects of anesthesia care in OOR settings, from financial considerations to anesthetic techniques to quality assurance. With increasing numbers of procedures such as cardiac catheterization and imaging taking place outside of the main OR, anesthesia providers as well as non-anesthesia members of the patient care team will find this resource critical to their understanding of the principles of anesthesia care in unique settings which may have limited physical resources. Topics include patient monitoring techniques, pre-procedure evaluation and post-procedure care, and procedural sedation performed by non-anesthesia providers.Less

Anesthesia Outside of the Operating Room 2nd edition covers all aspects of providing anesthesia in settings outside of the main operating room, with a special focus on techniques, procedures and safety considerations. It discusses anesthetic concerns by procedure location, and includes selected latest guidelines from the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and other professional societies. Topics include patient monitoring techniques, pre-procedure evaluation and post-procedure care, and procedural sedation performed by non-anesthesia providers. The authors address problems of anesthesia that have unique answers in settings outside the operating room, such as patient transport and cardiac arrest, and discuss technological progress and considerations for the future. The text also covers surgical procedures and anesthetic considerations by procedure location, such as radiology, infertility clinics, field and military environments, and pediatric settings.Less
